Forensic Context
A study in mice demonstrated that repeated cocaine exposure increased transcription factor E2F3a levels in the nucleus accumbens, and viral-mediated overexpression of E2F3a enhanced cocaine-induced locomotor sensitization and conditioned place preference while recapitulating cocaine's transcriptional and alternative splicing profiles [Cates et al. DOI:10.1016/j.biopsych.2017.11.027].
